And my comment to you is that hand counts are more accurate than machine
counts in determining the intent of the voters. If, due to a defect in
the perforations of a voting card, my vote wasn't counted, I would be
angry too, just like the Florida voters are.
So I do wait for the outcome of the recount, and I am not crazy.
And I don't see how it is that trying to get the most accurate count
possible constitutes a "brutal assault on our Constitution".
As for a revote in Palm Beach county, that is much more controversial
than hand recounts, and I don't think I would support that at this
time. I can see how you might think a revote would not be constitutional.
